Pupusas! Kylie's is…read morefound on Elizabeth Avenue and is known by many to be a fast and cheap lunch spot in the area. Kylie's offers a predominantly Salvadorian menu with a few exceptions, such as Honduran baleadas, Colombian bandeja paisa, or tacos. The menu is only in Spanish, but easy are to recognize the typical dishes, such as pupusas and a lunch staple in El Salvador, the carne asada. Pupusas are considered by many to be the national dish of El Salvador and consists of a thick corn tortilla stuffed with a variety of fillings such as meat, cheese, rice, and even edible flowers. In addition to their dine-in menu, they also offer a variety of take-out lunch options via their hot trays, located at the counter. All in all, Kylie's is one of many Salvadorian restaurants in Elizabeth, but provides a warm and consistent meal that many locals return to for.

I was on jury duty in the downtown Elizabeth area, and when we broke for lunch I didn't want to do…read moreMcDonalds or any other chain food. I wanted something more "mom and pop" and local. I came across Criollo's pretty much at random. It was early so the place was empty (save for a couple take out customers). The restaurant has several tables, most with four chairs. Each table is stocked with napkins, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Already a good sign. I walked up to the kitchen/cashier area and started thumbing through the menu. Then I looked up to see a nice older lady looking at me expectantly while and older gentleman had his arms crossed with a look of utter boredom and contempt on his face, not so much at me, but it seemed, his existence in general. I saw one thing on the menu that looked good. The conversation then went something like this: ME: "Do you have the oxtail?" LADY: "No oxtail." ME: "Okay..." (thumbing through the menu more) "...ah, what about the tongue (I think it was a burrito)." LADY: "No tongue." ME: "What DO you have?" LADY: "Chicken, beef, pork sausage, chorizo..." So that settled it, I ordered a chicken breast with rice and beans. I also added in an empanada with chicken inside. The empanada was served to me first, and it was nice and hot. I could tell as soon as my fork went into it that the crust was going to be fantastic. It made a satisfying crunch and had a nice, springy feel to it inside. When I took my first bite I was in love. The outer shell was crispy on the surface level, but chewy underneath. Inside was a combination of chicken, rice and I believe some onions. It wasn't just shredded chicken stuffed into a shell and for that I was very happy. The main dish was amazing in size. I seriously think two people could share this one dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender. It seemed like it had been cooked in a pan, then grilled for a finish, giving it some nice dark char. The rice and beans were good, but nothing spectacular. It's just the sheer amount of food was awesome. I wound up leaving about 2/3 of the rice and beans because I was stuffed. I enjoyed my visit to Criollo's, but I did knock down a star for them not having what's advertised on their menu.

You can't burn the calories at the jersey gardens mall :) The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because I am a big bean eater lol.

Wasn't as flavorful as I am used to but still pretty good. I noticed there was a loroco papusa though... but is there cheese in it too? That's way I didn't get it. Maybe I will next time. The horchata is legit. So fresh! Definitely will be ordering again.

The masa had amazing flavor and the chicken was melt in your mouth. The pupusas revueltas had good flavor but a bit dense. I don't have a lot of experience eating Salvadorian food but I was not a fan of the plantano relleno. They should explain on the menu what the items are because I was not expecting what I got. To me a relleno is filled with meat but this was filled with a sweet cream. . It's not for me but I won't penalize this place for that.
